Weekly Debate Post: Skiing vs. Snowboarding!
>>194100if you aren’t entering flow state on skis you’re simply not going fast enough. it usually starts between 50 and 60 mph
>>188393if you live in new england check your privilege then buy an indy pass and enjoy the best bang-for-buck skiing experience on the planet, in your own backyard at that
>>196155It only my second season snowboarding and I want to practice and improve so I can actually enjoy different resorts beyond their green and blue trails trails later on.
How do I cope with this season being over? Editing videos can only last so long until there is nothing left to edit and the gym is so boring. I want to go back!
>>196683iktf i've been thinking about going to mount hood or something

>>196586Okay what if he bear hugs you instead of going under your arms
>>196585Nothing. That's why it's banned from the rules, it solves judo
>>196609>letting yourself get bear huggedYou deserve to get thrown for having your arms down at your side
>>196682Weird how Judo existed for over 100 years with legal leg attacks but somehow was not dominated by spear tackles even though it “solves judo”. You realize bjj fags only do blast doubles all day because they’re bad at every other element of standup grappling, right?
>>196691You have to do some esoteric grip bs in judo. That's why in wrestling bear hug from behind is the most dominant position.

>>190377In that vid a girl is beating a healthy adult male tho
>>190377So your ancestor was the guy who legalized this?
>>192609>ricebug chink>healthy adult mankek. also women dont actually see through their eyes they only have an imaginary third person view of themselves like a video game, which is why they are athletically inferior. they are not at the reigns of their corporeal form, nature is, and everyone knows nature is a girl. and man was put on this Earth to rape nature.

Sarcastic member berry storytelling is ok at first, but the bit gets stale quick. Especially when there's an entire market of cunts doing it in the comedy/mma retarded crossover world.
Grappling causes skin infections
>>196630I bet they let people go into the bathroom with no shoes
>>196638You have to wear flipflops outside of the mat as you go through the actual gym and lobby to the locker and toilets heh
>>195854You also have to clean it up the tatame from time to time . Use a broom then alcohol. I used to clean it up the tatame for free with a friend of mine before the class.

/HEMA/ General - Power of God and Anime Edition 3>What is HEMA?HEMA stands for Historical European Martial Arts, sometimes also called Historical Fencing.It's reconstructing how to fight with swords, daggers, polearms, and other weapons based on old European fighting treatises>What does it look like?Inside the World of Longsword Fighting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zueF4Mu2uMBack to the source - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DBmNVHTmNsMartin Fabian Sparring - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8QlbKfX84k>Where can I find these treatises?https://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Main_Pagehttps://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Category:WeaponsComment too long.

>open hemaratings.com>longsword has a troon specific division (underrepresented genders)>no other weapon has such sectionI blame ttrpgslop and other nerd media. When will they be cancelled on Tiwtter for putting women and trannies appart?
Need to make a gambeson soon just for ren faire purposes and I already bought some prequilted cloth. Does pic related pattern look okay? All the ones on youtube have these elaborate patterns that I don't have time to download or buy. I do have a tape measure though. Will this work okay enough?>>195460>>196191My girlfriend's brother told me that USA HEMA is a bunch of trannies and fags anyway. I just want to get into it so I can feel like the equivalent of a level 1 D&D fighter one day.
>>196311>open HEMA general>nonstop discussion about trannies
>>196656It's easily the most obnoxious aspect of HEMA that you can't discuss bluntly in mainstream HEMA settings so it makes sense that anons would take the opportunity to vent.
>>196641Seems pretty ok, but then it depends on what's your purpose. Has it to be historically accurate (and if so, for what century)? Do you need more protection, more mobility, or a compromise of the two?
Do you think the rising average age of female gymnasts has effected the expected skill level?Are people expecting higher skilled but less physically demanding performances now? Or has the change in training resulted in the peak performance for women reaching a later age?
>>194278Yes they're not as good now. Girls have to peak for the olympics right at 16 otherwise they will miss: Either they compete too old, lose to 16 year olds and 14 year old chinese with fake documents. Or they are too young in olympics year, ineligible because their government won't lie about their age for them.
>>194278nah olivia dune is perfect as she is presently
>>194311At least when it comes to some of the events, like rhythmic, there's quite a few 20+ year olds that take the Olympics and the world championships. Both Russians in rythmic in 2016 and 2020 were 20+, for example. And Sanne won the balance beam at 26 years old, and Jade won the 2020 at 20.Overall the winners are getting older too it would seem.
>>194317she's a fake blonde with doodoo eyes just like my mother
all I know is russian gym and balet coach is swimming in underage pussy.

Is this an extreme sport? WHat are some unusual sports i can get into besides skateboarding?

>>196561I don't know about extreme but it's fun. Extremely dorky to most people though. Camping/hiking/kayaking. Survival stuff. Primitive hunting

In your experience, how many sessions do you need to break in a new trucks pivot cup? I'm 2-3 sessions in, an it still sticks to a side when I step off the board. Tried to use lubricant, but it only works for like half a session.
>>196672Do you ride really tight? They're going to be more prone to doing that if you skate tight trucks.Some trucks also do that more often like Ventures and Thunders.If you ride super tight changing to a harder bushing so you can back the nut off a bit while still having the same "tight" feeling while turning may help. But in general if the above criteria are accurate to your setup then it may just be a thing for you.
>>196678I ride it pretty lose I think, sometimes even get wheelbites. That's why I'm confused about this. It's just strange because my trucks feels tight when pushing around with one foot, but feels pretty loose when stepping on it with two legs.I thought that's maybe because of the new pivot cups.
Roller blading and roller skating general>Don't do crack, just roller skate editionhttps://youtu.be/t0LSkX46dS4Discuss tricks, gear, hobbies, and anything else relating to rolling. Derby and hockey fans are welcome to join as well.
Just now I impulsively purchased a pair of inline skates online and made an appointment of beginner lesson thanks to this thread. I'll post pics later (in two weeks). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o38XqVhmBY
Wanted to switch to flat but accidentally bought much softer wheels. Would it be a really bad idea to put them on the outside and switch my harder wheels to the middle?
>>196644No that'll be pretty fun when the outside wheels wear a little. Look up what rocker is on inline skates. It's what people like rollerhockey players use for being maneuverable.>>196560Did you watch that video because it's a little girl?
>>196662so if I left the softer ones in the middle would it eventually become slightly anti-rocker, or would the difference in hardness mean all the wheels would wear down at roughly the same pace since the middle ones don't wear as fast?
>>196662No. The school I booked with is the one that runs this youtube channel.

~~Crack edition~~>Where do I start?People typically start in the gym and branch off outdoors and find their niche, be it bouldering, trad, sport or a mixture of the above. Some never leave the gym at all. Ultimately it doesn't matter - just get started and enjoy yourself.>How fit do I have to be to start? Do I have to be able to do x amount of pull-ups?Being light, strong and flexible helps at the higher levels but climbing is open to almost anyone and is fairly intuitive to most. Even if your body is feeble and weak now, you will develop strength over time by virtue of just climbing. Climbing is a holistic sport and success often hinges upon many factors, not just strength and power, but having these qualities definitely helps when you breach into the higher grades.>What shoes do I buy?If you're starting out in the gym, don't worry too much: get some snug shoes without dead space that don't cause you lasting pain. Some people (such as the famed shoe designer Heinz Mariacher) recommend wearing soft shoes when you're starting out -- this makes sense since your footwork will probably suck and the increased feedback will pay dividends over time. You really don't need fancy expensive shoes when you're starting out, but certain shoe properties help send harder problems (e.g. stiff shoes for standing on tiny granite edges or soft shoes for sandstone/gritstone smears).Here are some useful resources for sizing:>https://sizesquirrel.com/>https://rockrun.com/blogs/the-flash-rock-run-blog/rock-climbing-shoe-sizing-guideComment too long.

>>196563>Also climbing outside is retarded so yeahthe worst part is that you typed this unironically. you are subhuman.
>>196563>Also climbing outside is retarded so yeahSo this is where we're at already...
the amount of bait in this thread is worrying.there is no reason to chase grades unless you want to do competitions. go outside.
is dancing an extreme sport?
Only break dancing and lion dancing.
